The Sniper

For my three short stories I read Hills Like White Elephants, The Sniper, and The Return.
In The Sniper i noticed that most of the story has to do with the setting. When things happen in the story happen because of the setting and it adds to the suspense and action of the story.

for my thesis, i want to focus on the setting of the story and how it affects the outcome of the story. I want to show how where they are and where they go adds to the rising and falling action. the rising action is shown by location and the falling action is shown how the sky and places around him get dark and gloomy.

I Am A Writer Who

   I am a writer who likes to write about random things. I like to write about what I am feeling at a certain moment. Most of the time when I go back and read what I wrote it doesn't make any sense at all, but while writing it, it makes all the sense in the world. My thoughts flow randomly and normally don't go together but I just write whatever comes into my head. It helps me relax just to talk about my feelings to myself, just to get them out. I like being this kind of reader because I can get   things off my mind easily and feel better at the end.

Reading Response

   In the book I am reading now One Day, there is a very definite plot structure. The eposition is pretty short then leads into the rising action. The rising action lasts for a while before slowly growing into the climax. There is not really a definite climax, but  long section of the book is where the climax pice by piece takes place. The falling action is pretty short because the book keeps reliving a moment year after year so it keeps happening, but towards the end things start to slow down which could be considered the falling action.
